Stopper | Giants 3, Padres 1

Carlos Rodón delivered the Giants' most important performance of the year.

It’s impossible to know how we’ll look back on Carlos Rodón complete game win—but it sure felt like the most important performance by any Giant this year.

With the team reeling and the most pivotal weeks of the season underway, Rodón saved his best for Saturday. 

If your glass is half full, you can already imagine how imposing Rodón and Logan Webb could be in a playoff series.

If your glass is half empty, you can recall Anthony DeSclafani was the last Giants pitcher to throw a CG. Which is to say, things can change fast.
